Renault Master E-Tech electric van gets larger battery for 2022

Faster charging and enhanced range make the Renault Master E-Tech more competitive in the big EV van class

Renault Master E-Tech

Renault’s largest electric van, the Master E-Tech, has been updated for 2022. The French firm says the latest version will be available to order from August, with first deliveries expected in September. 

Following the mid-size Kangoo E-Tech’s 2022 update comes revisions to the Master E-Tech. Renault’s large panel van competes with the Ford E-Transit, Citroen e-Relay, Vauxhall Movano-e and Peugeot e-Boxer and was previously known as the Master ZE. 

Renault has added a 52kWh battery, replacing the old 33kWh version, giving the Master E-Tech a WLTP-rated 126-mile range. Charging has also improved with a 22kW DC charger adding 30 miles of range in 45 minutes. A 11kW public charging station will see the Master E-Tech add 30 miles in two hours and a 7kW wallbox will see a 20-80 per cent recharge in five hours. The battery offers a maximum power output of 76bhp and 210Nm of torque.
